If Ye Qianfan's guess was right, that point of light should have been a person.
It looked like it had to be Daoist Chen!
After all, there was no one else in this ancient tomb.
But...
Ye Qianfan suddenly realized something: wherever Daoist Chen passed, the Human Effigies seemed not to move at all.
It was as though they could not see Daoist Chen walking among them!
"Why is that?"
Ye Qianfan asked in confusion, "That shouldn't be possible! Daoist Chen doesn't even have as many eyes as Ye Fu does with Three Flowers Gather at the Crown, so how can he make all those Human Effigies stay completely still, as though they really were effigies rather than monsters?"
"What exactly is so special about Daoist Chen?"
"His steps."
Just then...
The Daoist suddenly spoke. "Have you noticed that the light isn't moving in a straight line or along a curve, but following a specific pattern?"
"I suspect it might be some kind of footwork!"
"Something like Wave-Treading Steps?" Ye Qianfan asked. "But he isn't moving very fast!"
"It has nothing to do with speed."
The Daoist continued explaining, "Rather, this footwork can create blind spots for those Human Effigies, or perhaps it has some special concealment effect. Whatever makes it special, you don't need to worry about that. Just remember exactly how the steps go!"
"All right, but he's already in the latter half of the fourth pit, so I can't really tell how he moved when he first entered," Ye Qianfan said, carefully watching the light's changing position. "When he enters the last pit, I'll memorize exactly how he moves."
"Station... Station Chief..."
Just as Ye Qianfan was about to observe how Daoist Chen used his footwork to break through these pits of Human Effigies...
